Ji Yunshu returned the bottle.
She waited for him to answer her question.
Bai Yin picked up the bottle next to her and twirled it around her finger. Then, she pushed it back to Gu Ruoyun.
"You should keep it, it might still be useful."
Old Tie, are you cursing me to get more injured?
That stings.
Ji Yunshu thought that it might be useful, so she kept the bottle.
Then, she asked, "You still haven't answered me. Why did you capture me?"
Bai Yin was silent for a while before slowly replying, "Because they want women."
Simple and to the point!
Because they want women, you capture women?
What a bunch of inhumane beasts!
Ji Yunshu's heart ached at the thought of the woman who stabbed her neck with a wooden hairpin and died. Yue Dan's disgusting 'request' made her sick to her stomach.
She coldly mocked, "Men are indeed animals."
It was a type of animal that was extremely thirsty once it was locked up.
It was an animal that would not even let go of itself.
Bai Yin didn't seem to understand her words. He narrowed his eyes but didn't ask.
Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, seemed to be trying to figure out something from him.
But this man seemed to be hiding all his emotions very well.
So much so that she didn't know what he was thinking.
So, she asked him again, "Since you captured me and brought me here, why are you protecting me?"
After she was taken away by Ba Tu, he came to rescue her.
He even almost fought with Ma Yinghao.
In response to her question, Bai Yin said, "Because everything I've said to Ba Tu and the Chief... I mean it."
Very serious!
He said that she was the woman he wanted!
He said that he wanted this woman!
Ji Yunshu only had one word in her mind – comical.
She even laughed.
"What? Don't tell me you're ashamed that I like you? "
"Do you know who I am? You dare to say that you want me? " Ji Yunshu smirked and pointed at the wound on her neck where she had applied medicine. She asked him, "Do you know what this means?"
Bai Yin's gaze followed the direction of her finger.
The ground where the dagger had cut had been smeared with white powdery medicine, but there was still some blood flowing out, dyeing the white powder red.
How painful it must have been!
He retracted his gaze, puzzled by Ji Yunshu's question.
Does that mean … you're hurt?
Bai Yin frowned slightly.
He waited for Ji Yunshu's answer.
She said, "Have you never thought about why Ma Yinghao didn't dare to touch me or kill me after I was sent to his tent? Instead, he locked me up?"
Yuan Shihao!
She called out He Hao's name directly!
Bai Yin narrowed her eyes, "What did you say to him?"
"You can ask him yourself."
He was not interested!
But what interested me was —
"Who are you?"
This was the second time he had asked Ji Yunshu.
This question made Ji Yunshu smile.
She said, "Ma Yinghao has already asked me this question."
It was a reminder.
This also meant that she would not tell Bai Yin.
If he wanted to know, he could ask Ma Yinghao himself.
However, Bai Yin seemed to have guessed something and asked, "Does it have something to do with that man... who was hugging you in the forest?"
Of course, she was referring to Jing Rong.
In other words, the person who had been watching them in the forest that night was Bai Yin?
Ji Yunshu's eyes darkened as she suddenly realized something.
Jing Rong is hugging me?
When they were in the hot spring, Jing Rong was not by my side, which means...
"How many days have you been following us?"
"Three days," he answered without hiding anything.
Three days?
A person had been following them for three days, yet the guards did not notice.
Even Shi Ziran, who was good at hiding in the dark, did not notice. This showed that Bai Yin's martial arts foundation was not bad.
Even better than Jing Rong.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Then why am I your target?"
"We want a woman, and I want you."
"So..."
"So I brought you here."
"I want to hear the truth." Ji Yunshu emphasized.
He knew that Bai Yin was lying. The reason he gave was too far-fetched. To be more precise, he would not follow them for three days just for a woman.
Unless he was a pervert!
Bai Yin's eyes flickered slightly, then lowered his gaze.
Silence!
Ji Yunshu leaned forward slightly. A woman's sixth sense told her that Bai Yin was hiding something, and that it had something to do with her.
"Tell me, what is it?"
Bai Yin was silent for a long time, then —
A shocking statement came out of his mouth, "I've seen you before."
I've seen you before!
It was a statement that sounded very certain.
Huh?
The first thing that came to Ji Yunshu's mind was — Impossible!
Bai Yin was from Yue Dan, while she was from the Central Plains.
They had nothing to do with each other.
Ji Yunshu was baffled, "How could you have seen me before?"
She had no impression of him at all.
Bai Yin raised his eyes and told her, "A portrait! I've seen a portrait of you. "
"A portrait? Where did you see it from? "
"You don't need to know that."
"So this is the reason why you followed me for three days? And the reason why you captured me and brought me here? "
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"You don't need to know that much." Bai Yin frowned slightly. His expression turned cold in an instant, unwilling to continue speaking.
However, Ji Yunshu's curious nature made her want to know what was going on.
Without waiting for her to continue asking —
All of a sudden, Bai Yin took out something wrapped in a single leaf from her clothes.
He threw it to her.
It was very heavy.
He threw it in front of her with a loud thud.
"It's not poisonous!"
He said.
Then he stood up.
He turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Ji Yunshu stopped him. "Where did you get that portrait?"
Bai Yin suddenly stopped at the door. She did not respond to Gu Xijiu.
After a long time —
He took a deep breath and turned his back to her. "In any case, I won't let anything happen to you as long as you stay here obediently."
He left after throwing these words.
Ji Yunshu could only sit in the tent. Her heart felt like it was weighed down by a rock.
But she couldn't stop thinking about what Bai Yin had said.
Portrait?
What portrait?
Where did she get the portrait?
The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became!
"Rumble …"
Her stomach growled again.
She rubbed her stomach. Her gaze fell on the leaf-wrapped object that Bai Yin had thrown in front of her.
What was it?
She struggled for a while, then picked it up.
It was hot.
She opened it bit by bit.
As soon as the leaf was opened, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose!
It was mutton!
And it was hot, very fragrant.
"Rumble …" Her stomach growled again.
No wonder Bai Yin said 'it's not poisonous'.
She gulped. She was indeed hungry.
